Quick Tip: Mare & Foal
An active broodmare needs more frequent vaccination against certain diseases such as EHV-1 and other diseases that threaten pregnancy and/or the foal (e.g., rotavirus, botulism).
Quick Tip: Young
Young horses are highly susceptible to most internal parasites so be sure to conduct timely fecal egg counts in case your horse requires a change in deworming regimen.
Quick Tip: Performance
Don’t buy a performance horse without having a comprehensive pre-purchase exam done.
Quick Tip: Pleasure
When having your horse vaccinated, be sure to have a physical examination, as well, which includes a dental exam, body condition scoring, general fitness exam, ophthalmic exam and soundness exam.
